'Your real home is not your apartment or your house…'

“Your real home is not your apartment or your house or your city or even your country, but your body. It is the only thing you, your soul and your mind, will always live inside of so long as you walk the earth. It is the single most important physical thing in this world you can take care of.
We have a choice: To take care of ourselves, or to simply let time make us worse. And it is right now, at this moment, not later, that we must make this decision. Most people in this world choose to lose. They drag themselves through a second-rate life, overweight and under-energetic. They just let time take its toll. Their waistline increases and their height decreases as they get older and their backs hurt and hunch. Eventually their mobility becomes limited. And they meet their maker well before they should.
Then there are the others, the minority who decide to really, truly do something about their health. They exercise, and they watch what they eat, not obsessively, only just enough. … They meet life’s obstacles with physical, mental, and spiritual strength. … They thrive on the energy exercise gives them every day. How it washes away so many of the bad things in life — depression, anxiety, nervousness, tension, boredom, impatience… It lets them think easily and clearly. They know how much worse their lives would be if they did not exercise, so they simply don’t let that happen. They are in control, not their excuses.” — Mark Lauren & Joshua Clark (From: You are your own gym: The bible of bodyweight exercises for men and women)
